Lucchini Withdraws From Le Mans
The #45 Lucchini LMP has been withdrawn from the 73rd Le Mans 24 Hours – leaving 49 cars on the entry list next week.

The problem is the recurring one – the gearbox. Pankl has offered all the support it can, but it is regarded as too late now to have a car ready for the 24 Hours. The drivers were disappointed to find that the transmission was misbehaving during the morning and afternoon of June 5.

The team's truck has already left the circuit

It doesnt say if the second Spyker will now be in

The second Spyker isn't listed on the entry list any more, and only one is showing on the timings for the test weekend so I guess the answer is no.

[Paddy_NL]

That would be brave though, to get a second car in within 5 days

I wonder if Prodrive have got a spare Aston.

I'd love to see the 1000 km SPA-winning Zytek and John Nielsen as car no. 50 on the track, but I guess that car is in the US now

i'm happy to put my car round the track if there is a spare place - le mans spirit et al: anything to keep a full grid!

Shame they dropped out. I would have thought they put more effort in it. After all it's the works car.

The reserve list is in effect cancelled on the 28th May. As I understand the regs, after that date on reserves are admitted.
Have a safe trip down PM, see you at Pompey.
